I have bought all the fish I think I will add for now. The only thing I can think I may add would be several rainbow fish as dithers but I am hoping not to need them as the tank is pretty stocked as it is.

1 syn
1 chocolate
1 firemouth
1 red shoulder sev.
1 gold sev
1 green terror
1 JD
1 texas
1 texasxfh
1 rubber lipped pleco
I am hoping they will all work out but am prepared to move any as need be. I have a 55 in my room I can hold any in that get too rowdy and need to be moved. Until then I'm thinking about breeding convicts in it for feeders for my native tank and the parent cons can turn into feeders if need be or could possibly go into the 125. So far there has been very little to no aggression. The FH eats like a pig and gets fat with pellets before he starts loosing them out of his gills. He is smart enough to stick to the top where I am dropping them in so he gets way more than his fill and is growing fast. Some of the other fish eat these pieces to help keep the tank clean but I am worried that this will be a problem in the future. Hopefully the pleco eats some of it which is what the plan was for it as well as some of the algae. I have quite a bit more algae on the tank than most people would find appealing or even acceptable but I think it looks more natural and I like it. The regular tx likes to eat closer to the bottom 1/3 of the tank so he doesn't get as much and hasn't grown much. The others just seem to chill out. The chocolate is the biggest but seems really mellow. He has drastic color changes for almost no reason. When it is dark he has almost a cammo look to him which looks awesome, I wouldn't mind if these were his permanent colors.
 
Wish you luck dude but that tank is really overstocked man
